What is that green sh*t on there? mold???

my guess is either boogers..lol or some kinda grease.

the green sh*t is left over lithium soap based grease from my finger from when I installed a new ball for the clutch in the primary shaft...( my ball was looking more like a pellet, smashed flat on 2 sides!!)

dude have him do all of the head studs with time serts. i pulled out 4 of the 6 (one had already been helicoiled). check out your exhaust stud holes too.

I will, depending on the cost per hole I might just buy the time-sert kit and do it myself...I was really looking forward to getting this buttoned up this weekend...o-well lesser people would have riged it and posted it for sale..this is going to be done right.

I would like to compare it to a stock blaster after break in the cylinder has been ported by kustom kraft I just hope the head will work out, it was swapped in...maybee I should get some solder and do a squish band check this weekend and send the head off to RB Deisgns.

well I got my cylinder and head back today ran into a few snags... my machinists did a great job on the bore, hone, chamfering fixing the threads in a stud I pionted out...he did not chamfer the bottom of the sleeve to help the rings squish when installing the piston...I got pass this by doing that myself,

So I get the cylinder on the piston and tighten the base bolts, install the head and two studs pulled out of the cylinder... so I took the head back off and taped up the piston hole..I guess I'll wait till next week when he gets back and see if he can install the time-serts with the cylinder on cuz heliciols suck in the app.

i am the master of fixing head studs, all 6 of mine were bad at one point lol

what did you use to fix them?

 

[super noober]

what did you use to fix them?

the helicoils everybody is hateing on..... and red locktite. but what i know is ive got 6 head studs that are coiled with zero problems since i did it.

i just really prefer the time serts. helicoils work ok but the time serts just seem like a better solution if you have access to them

I love helicoils for m6x1.0

well I got my head on and torqued down last night!! I took pics of the e-z-lok insert install, I got one off the studs off by a hair (slanted) and had a hard time putting the cap on...I got 120psi on the guage by spinning the flywheel with a 17mm connected to a drill...thats on the bench before break in...

all I have to do now is call the stealership and see if my spring washer has made its way from the left coast and I will be done... looking forward to playing with the carb...seems to = trouble for alot of folks

 

[sr5bidder]

got the spring washer from the stealership and buttoned her up put her in,exhuast clutch, carb and chain, put my bud light test tank on and fired her up after a few kick and changing to a fresh plug...runs out good so far...idles great..only had 6 oz of pre mix so I will continue the madness tomorrow engine heated to 212*F
